Release notes for bttv
----------------------

You'll need at least these config options for bttv::

    ./scripts/config -e PCI
    ./scripts/config -m I2C
    ./scripts/config -m INPUT
    ./scripts/config -m MEDIA_SUPPORT
    ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT
    ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT
    ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT
    ./scripts/config -e MEDIA_RADIO_SUPPORT
    ./scripts/config -e RC_CORE
    ./scripts/config -m VIDEO_BT848

If your board has digital TV, you'll also need::

    ./scripts/config -m DVB_BT8XX

In this case, please see Documentation/admin-guide/media/bt8xx.rst
for additional notes.

Make bttv work with your card
-----------------------------

If you have bttv compiled and installed, just booting the Kernel
should be enough for it to try probing it. However, depending
on the model, the Kernel may require additional information about
the hardware, as the device may not be able to provide such info
directly to the Kernel.

If it doesn't bttv likely could not autodetect your card and needs some
insmod options.  The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n"
to select the correct card type.  If you get video but no sound you've
very likely specified the wrong (or no) card type.  A list of supported
cards is in Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst.

If bttv takes very long to load (happens sometimes with the cheap
cards which have no tuner), try adding this to your modules configuration
file (usually, it is either ``/etc/modules.conf`` or some file at
``/etc/modules-load.d/``, but the actual place depends on your
distribution)::

	options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1

Some cards may require an extra firmware file to work. For example,
for the WinTV/PVR you need one firmware file from its driver CD,
called: ``hcwamc.rbf``. It is inside a self-extracting zip file
called ``pvr45xxx.exe``.  Just placing it at the ``/etc/firmware``
directory should be enough for it to be autoload during the driver's
probing mode (e. g. when the Kernel boots or when the driver is
manually loaded via ``modprobe`` command).

If your card isn't listed in Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst
or if you have trouble making audio work, please read :ref:`still_doesnt_work`.


Autodetecting cards
-------------------

bttv uses the PCI Subsystem ID to autodetect the card type.  lspci lists
the Subsystem ID in the second line, looks like this:

.. code-block:: none

	00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 02)
		Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV/GO
		Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
		Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]

only bt878-based cards can have a subsystem ID (which does not mean
that every card really has one).  bt848 cards can't have a Subsystem
ID and therefore can't be autodetected.  There is a list with the ID's
at Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv-cardlist.rst
(in case you are interested or want to mail patches with updates).


.. _still_doesnt_work:

Still doesn't work?
-------------------

I do NOT have a lab with 30+ different grabber boards and a
PAL/NTSC/SECAM test signal generator at home, so I often can't
reproduce your problems.  This makes debugging very difficult for me.

If you have some knowledge and spare time, please try to fix this
yourself (patches very welcome of course...)  You know: The linux
slogan is "Do it yourself".

There is a mailing list at
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-media

If you have trouble with some specific TV card, try to ask there
instead of mailing me directly.  The chance that someone with the
same card listens there is much higher...

For problems with sound:  There are a lot of different systems used
for TV sound all over the world.  And there are also different chips
which decode the audio signal.  Reports about sound problems ("stereo
doesn't work") are pretty useless unless you include some details
about your hardware and the TV sound scheme used in your country (or
at least the country you are living in).

Modprobe options
----------------

.. note::


   The following argument list can be outdated, as we might add more
   options if ever needed. In case of doubt, please check with
   ``modinfo <module>``.

   This command prints various information about a kernel
   module, among them a complete and up-to-date list of insmod options.

If the box freezes hard with bttv
---------------------------------

It might be a bttv driver bug.  It also might be bad hardware.  It also
might be something else ...

Just mailing me "bttv freezes" isn't going to help much.  This README
has a few hints how you can help to pin down the problem.


bttv bugs
~~~~~~~~~

If some version works and another doesn't it is likely to be a driver
bug.  It is very helpful if you can tell where exactly it broke
(i.e. the last working and the first broken version).

With a hard freeze you probably doesn't find anything in the logfiles.
The only way to capture any kernel messages is to hook up a serial
console and let some terminal application log the messages.  /me uses
screen.  See Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst for details on
setting up a serial console.

Read Documentation/admin-guide/bug-hunting.rst to learn how to get any useful
information out of a register+stack dump printed by the kernel on
protection faults (so-called "kernel oops").

If you run into some kind of deadlock, you can try to dump a call trace
for each process using sysrq-t (see Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst).
This way it is possible to figure where *exactly* some process in "D"
state is stuck.

I've seen reports that bttv 0.7.x crashes whereas 0.8.x works rock solid
for some people.  Thus probably a small buglet left somewhere in bttv
0.7.x.  I have no idea where exactly, it works stable for me and a lot of
other people.  But in case you have problems with the 0.7.x versions you
can give 0.8.x a try ...


hardware bugs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some hardware can't deal with PCI-PCI transfers (i.e. grabber => vga).
Sometimes problems show up with bttv just because of the high load on
the PCI bus. The bt848/878 chips have a few workarounds for known
incompatibilities, see README.quirks.

Some folks report that increasing the pci latency helps too,
althrought I'm not sure whenever this really fixes the problems or
only makes it less likely to happen.  Both bttv and btaudio have a
insmod option to set the PCI latency of the device.

Some mainboard have problems to deal correctly with multiple devices
doing DMA at the same time.  bttv + ide seems to cause this sometimes,
if this is the case you likely see freezes only with video and hard disk
access at the same time.  Updating the IDE driver to get the latest and
greatest workarounds for hardware bugs might fix these problems.


other
~~~~~

If you use some binary-only yunk (like nvidia module) try to reproduce
the problem without.

IRQ sharing is known to cause problems in some cases.  It works just
fine in theory and many configurations.  Neverless it might be worth a
try to shuffle around the PCI cards to give bttv another IRQ or make
it share the IRQ with some other piece of hardware.  IRQ sharing with
VGA cards seems to cause trouble sometimes.  I've also seen funny
effects with bttv sharing the IRQ with the ACPI bridge (and
apci-enabled kernel).

Bttv quirks
-----------

Below is what the bt878 data book says about the PCI bug compatibility
modes of the bt878 chip.

The triton1 insmod option sets the EN_TBFX bit in the control register.
The vsfx insmod option does the same for EN_VSFX bit.  If you have
stability problems you can try if one of these options makes your box
work solid.

drivers/pci/quirks.c knows about these issues, this way these bits are
enabled automagically for known-buggy chipsets (look at the kernel
messages, bttv tells you).

Normal PCI Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The PCI REQ signal is the logical-or of the incoming function requests.
The inter-nal GNT[0:1] signals are gated asynchronously with GNT and
demultiplexed by the audio request signal. Thus the arbiter defaults to
the video function at power-up and parks there during no requests for
bus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus more
often. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thus
the audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a request
after the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has granted
access to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on the
bus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus is
very short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO can
tolerate.


430FX Compatibility Mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensure
compatibility:

 (1) Deassert REQ at the same time as asserting FRAME.
 (2) Do not reassert REQ to request another bus transaction until after
     finish-ing the previous transaction.

Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, a
simple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules.
Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibility
mode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated in
Device Control Register on page 104.

When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibility
rules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, this
internal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, once
the GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now route
only the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lock
happens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know when
FRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME on
the cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator s
responsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is the
arbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ and
not allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock may
be removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus is
idle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continue
asynchronously until GNT is again asserted.


Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transaction
during the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1
compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCI
controllers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device Control
Register on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNT
to the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bus
transaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. This
also has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of bus
parking, thus lowering arbitration performance. The Bt879 drivers must
query for these non-compliant devices, and set the EN_VSFX bit only if
required.


Other elements of the tvcards array
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful to
know what the other elements in the tvcards array are good for::

	video_inputs    - # of video inputs the card has
	audio_inputs    - historical cruft, not used any more.
	tuner           - which input is the tuner
	svhs            - which input is svhs (all others are labeled composite)
	muxsel          - video mux, input->registervalue mapping
	pll             - same as pll= insmod option
	tuner_type      - same as tuner= insmod option
	*_modulename    - hint whenever some card needs this or that audio
			module loaded to work properly.
	has_radio	- whenever this TV card has a radio tuner.
	no_msp34xx	- "1" disables loading of msp3400.o module
	no_tda9875	- "1" disables loading of tda9875.o module
	needs_tvaudio	- set to "1" to load tvaudio.o module

If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and as
insmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.

   https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Device_Information

Supported cards: Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 cards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All cards with Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 and normal
Composite/S-VHS inputs are supported.  Teletext and Intercast support
(PAL only) for ALL cards via VBI sample decoding in software.

Some cards with additional multiplexing of inputs or other additional
fancy chips are only partially supported (unless specifications by the
card manufacturer are given).  When a card is listed here it isn't
necessarily fully supported.

All other cards only differ by additional components as tuners, sound
decoders, EEPROMs, teletext decoders ...


MATRIX Vision
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MV-Delta
- Bt848A
- 4 Composite inputs, 1 S-VHS input (shared with 4th composite)
- EEPROM

http://www.matrix-vision.de/

This card has no tuner but supports all 4 composite (1 shared with an
S-VHS input) of the Bt848A.
Very nice card if you only have satellite TV but several tuners connected
to the card via composite.

Many thanks to Matrix-Vision for giving us 2 cards for free which made
Bt848a/Bt849 single crystal operation support possible!!!



Miro/Pinnacle PCTV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Bt848
  some (all??) come with 2 crystals for PAL/SECAM and NTSC
- PAL, SECAM or NTSC TV tuner (Philips or TEMIC)
- MSP34xx sound decoder on add on board
  decoder is supported but AFAIK does not yet work
  (other sound MUX setting in GPIO port needed??? somebody who fixed this???)
- 1 tuner, 1 composite and 1 S-VHS input
- tuner type is autodetected

http://www.miro.de/
http://www.miro.com/


Many thanks for the free card which made first NTSC support possible back
in 1997!


Hauppauge Win/TV pci
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are many different versions of the Hauppauge cards with different
tuners (TV+Radio ...), teletext decoders.
Note that even cards with same model numbers have (depending on the revision)
different chips on it.

- Bt848 (and others but always in 2 crystal operation???)
  newer cards have a Bt878

- PAL, SECAM, NTSC or tuner with or without Radio support

e.g.:

- PAL:

  - TDA5737: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR 3-band tuners
  - TSA5522: 1.4 GHz I2C-bus controlled synthesizer, I2C 0xc2-0xc3

- NTSC:

  - TDA5731: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR 3-band tuners
  - TSA5518: no datasheet available on Philips site

- Philips SAA5246 or SAA5284 ( or no) Teletext decoder chip
  with buffer RAM (e.g. Winbond W24257AS-35: 32Kx8 CMOS static RAM)
  SAA5246 (I2C 0x22) is supported

- 256 bytes EEPROM: Microchip 24LC02B or Philips 8582E2Y
  with configuration information
  I2C address 0xa0 (24LC02B also responds to 0xa2-0xaf)

- 1 tuner, 1 composite and (depending on model) 1 S-VHS input

- 14052B: mux for selection of sound source

- sound decoder: TDA9800, MSP34xx (stereo cards)

	- These exist in variations w/FM and w/Remote sometimes denoted
	  by suffixes "FM" and "R".

  #) You have a laptop (miniPCI card):

      - Product    = FlyTV Platinum Mini
      - Model/Chip = LR212/saa7135

      - Lifeview.com.tw states (Feb. 2002):
        "The FlyVideo2000 and FlyVideo2000s product name have renamed to FlyVideo98."
        Their Bt8x8 cards are listed as discontinued.
      - Flyvideo 2000S was probably sold as Flyvideo 3000 in some countries(Europe?).
        The new Flyvideo 2000/3000 are SAA7130/SAA7134 based.

"Flyvideo II" had been the name for the 848 cards, nowadays (in Germany)
this name is re-used for LR50 Rev.W.

The Lifeview website mentioned Flyvideo III at some time, but such a card
has not yet been seen (perhaps it was the german name for LR90 [stereo]).
These cards are sold by many OEMs too.

FlyVideo A2 (Elta 8680)= LR90 Rev.F (w/Remote, w/o FM, stereo TV by tda9821) {Germany}

Lifeview 3000 (Elta 8681) as sold by Plus(April 2002), Germany = LR138 w/ saa7134

Author of this section: Jon Tombs <jon@gte.esi.us.es>

This card is basically the same as all the rest (Bt484A, Philips tuner),
the main difference is that they have attached a programmable attenuator to 3
GPIO lines in order to give some volume control. They have also stuck an
infra-red remote control decoded on the board, I will add support for this
when I get time (it simple generates an interrupt for each key press, with
the key code is placed in the GPIO port).

I don't yet have any application to test the radio support. The tuner
frequency setting should work but it is possible that the audio multiplexer
is wrong. If it doesn't work, send me email.


- No Thanks to Leadtek they refused to answer any questions about their
  hardware. The driver was written by visual inspection of the card. If you
  use this driver, send an email insult to them, and tell them you won't
  continue buying their hardware unless they support Linux.

- Little thanks to Princeton Technology Corp (http://www.princeton.com.tw)
  who make the audio attenuator. Their publicly available data-sheet available
  on their web site doesn't include the chip programming information! Hidden
  on their server are the full data-sheets, but don't ask how I found it.

To use the driver I use the following options, the tuner and pll settings might
be different in your country. You can force it via modprobe parameters.
For example::

    modprobe bttv  tuner=1 pll=28 radio=1 card=17

Sets tuner type 1 (Philips PAL_I), PLL with a 28 MHz crystal, enables
FM radio and selects bttv card ID 17 (Leadtek WinView 601).

Thanks

Many thanks to:

- Markus Schroeder <schroedm@uni-duesseldorf.de> for information on the Bt848
  and tuner programming and his control program xtvc.

- Martin Buck <martin-2.buck@student.uni-ulm.de> for his great Videotext
  package.

- Gerd Hoffmann for the MSP3400 support and the modular
  I2C, tuner, ... support.


- MATRIX Vision for giving us 2 cards for free, which made support of
  single crystal operation possible.

- MIRO for providing a free PCTV card and detailed information about the
  components on their cards. (E.g. how the tuner type is detected)
  Without their card I could not have debugged the NTSC mode.

- Hauppauge for telling how the sound input is selected and what components
  they do and will use on their radio cards.
  Also many thanks for faxing me the FM1216 data sheet.
